Founded in 2014, Protection Approaches is a fast-growing, dynamic, London-based charity that works locally, nationally, and internationally. We seek a world where everyone accepts and respects each other, regardless of identity.

Specifically, we:
- Work on the local level towards community led change, collaborating with communities on tackling marginalisation, building resilience, and research.

Our atrocity-prevention programme has led efforts that have transformed the UK approach to crimes against humanity and genocide while our domestic Stronger Communities programme has opened up funding for community-led solutions.
- Work on the multilateral and global level to transform how identity-based violence is understood and responded to within our international system.
- Conduct training courses on identity-based violence, hate crime and atrocity prevention.
- Across all these areas, we undertake, commission, and coordinate research to ensure that the programmes we develop and implement are supported by evidence and in line with global best practices.
